The Walk! Bike! Fun! curriculum is an in-classroom and real-world (on foot, on bike) educational resource and can help address improper walking and biking behaviors like that observed by the SRTS Team. Taught by specially-trained school district teachers, this curriculum is intended for children ages five through thirteen. It teaches life-long skills related to traffic rules, potential hazards, and bike handling skills that enable students to walk and bike safely and comfortably to and from school along with other trips around their communities. The curriculum addresses a variety of walking and bicycling topics and is endorsed by MnDOT. Finally, in order to engage students in the Walk! Bike! Fun! curriculum, the New York Mills School District should identify the need for a bicycle fleet, or identify a nearby fleet they may be able to borrow.
